Importing Assignments from a CPS Database

Importing assignments from CPS brings in data that includes student responses, points earned, correct answers, difficulty
level, and standards associated with the questions in the CPS session data. Even if the CPS session data is collected from an
ExamView source, imported questions cannot be viewed from within Test Manager. Aside from this limitation, imported
assignments appear identical to ExamView-created assignments and can be analyzed using Test Manager's reporting tools.

NOTE

Student records are matched to the Test Manager roster based on student ID alone. First name,
last name, and device IDs are not compared.
